A report by EWN quoted a family spokesperson Dawood Essack as saying that the child was reunited with his family after 23:00 on Thursday.
“He’s in good health. I saw a little message that he sent to his aunt and the school principal and he said ‘Tell Mrs Friday that I am glad that I won’t need to come to school tomorrow’. He’s well, he’s unharmed and in very very good spirits,” the report quoted Essack as saying.
